The text reads: A recent Harvard Medical School study found that people with more than 12 years of formal education (even if it's only 1 year of college) live 18 months longer than those with fewer years of schooling. Why? The more education you have, the less likely you are to smoke. In fact, only about 10% of adults with an undergraduate degree smoke, compared with 35% of those with a high school education or less, according to the CDC.

Well... if it is a matter of not smoking then I think we'll have to give back those 18 months. I find it hard to believe that Vassar has taught me not to smoke.
